Northeast - NYC Century PART DEUX!: 10/11

Hi everyone,

Due to the positive interest in redo-ing the NYC Century ride in this thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=457874), I am starting the official ride redo thread to get a roll call going on as well as to figure out the date we're gonna go.

Please post here if you want to come with, and what day & date is best. Obviously it's going to be a Saturday or Sunday on one of the coming weekends, but I'd like to get this organized.

Since this is a "just for fun" ride and not affiliated with the actual NYC Century or Trans Alt, it's of course FREE and will not have any ride support. Although we will obviously stop for food, beer, etc. as needed and I'll bring the tools and parts to fix minor breakdowns like flat tires, etc.

...and all participants get a free jersey at the finish line (old white t-shirt with NYC Century PART DEUX written in sharpie marker). :lol:

In.

I'm in. Second weekend in October, perhaps?

when??? in too hope its not oct 12, cause will be fisking in block island

I'm in as long as Nathan's is one of our rest stops :D

Easy ride - 14-16 mph pace?

How about October 11th? Gives Sunday to recoup.

hmmm, i will be out of town visiting my Grandma the second week of October. What about Saturday September 27th? the third and fourth weekends in October are both good for me.

To answer Air's questions, yes totally into a Nathan's stop and yes 14-16mph pace sounds good to me.

I may be away a few weekends coming up....not sure I'd survive 15 mph pace anyway!:o

Hope I can make it tho...it'll be fun trying.

...i wonder if i should also post this in the single-speed / fixed forum, since a lot of people there are from NYC, and also would most likely be into a more laid-back riding pace.

Let's pick a date first, hard enough with a few people to come to a close consensus. As it will be anyway there will probably be a few people that can't make it.

Maybe we should pick two dates. Anyone want to ride both, cool, rains on the first then the second is a second chance.

Let's all list the days that we could make it through the end of October and see about a consensus:

Can make:
9-27
9-28
10-11
10-12
11-1
11-2

In. Not sure of dates yet.

9-27
9-28
10-11
10-12

9-27
9-28
10-4
10-18
10-19
10-25
10-26

I will have to get back to you on dates. I'm pretty full up until at least mid-October.

bumping this back up top. can we get some consensus here?

oooo this could be worth coming back to ny for a weekend. I'm down for
10/11
10/18
10/25
11/1

10-11 is looking pretty good it seems - let's plan on that being the first choice and can add a second date.

Who's in?

10/11 actually works out pretty good for me.

10-11 should be good. Nice post-birthday ride for me!

Damn, it turns out that I'll be out of town that weekend. Have a great ride, everyone.

Doh! Are your other dates OK? We'll pick another date for those that can't make this one.

FWIW 18th and 25th also should work for me.

hmm, look at my schedule again 18th/25th would be better for me

I can do any other weekend except Columbus Day weekend, and any in November except around Thanksgiving time.

i'm outta town on 10/11. 10/18 and 10/25 are good tho.

Air, and everyone else, thank you for keeping this thread alive!

Is this thing still in the works?

I'm riding on Saturday. If it's just me maybe I'll do a Nyack run but I can't the 18th or 25th weekends though can help coordinate to get one of those going.
